Attention all pizza lovers! What if I told you that you could have a guilt-free, gluten-free, and delicious pizza? Yes, you heard that right. This Spaghetti Squash Pizza Crust is an innovative and healthy twist on a classic favorite.
With its low-carb and nutrient-rich properties, spaghetti squash is the star ingredient in this alternative pizza crust. Get ready to satisfy your pizza cravings without the sacrifice or guilt.
Most people think of spaghetti squash as a replacement for pasta, but it can be used as a replacement for bready pizza crust as well.

The only trick to this crust is to squeeze out as much of the liquid from the cooked spaghetti squash as possible before adding the remaining ingredients.
While this won't be confused for traditional wheat flour based pizza crust it is still a delicious alternative.
